Keeping it Simple in Everyday Ramblings

This house is on a steep hill and the fence is built at that angle. This is one view of a very nice yard sculpture. The folks that literally live above me can afford to buy art and they do. There are all sorts of whimsical and beautiful things up there and I look forward to discovering more.

I had an English muffin! It was so good. I haven’t tried almonds yet but pecans are okay.

All my continuing education, both for the volunteer job and Yoga Alliance is done though I still have a few hours of logging classes I have taught over the last few years into their new system to do. That has been hanging over me for months and I am so happy to have it done.

It is warming up and blessedly the sun is out.

The wincing episode in the office appears to have made an impression on Nimrod and he is keeping his distance. He is basically leaving me alone and I am much better with benign neglect than I am with menacing interference. He is not helping but he is also not hindering, which is a huge thing. At least for now. I appear to have the green light to carry on with a particular initiative that will save Saint Joe a bunch of typing time each month. This would be so cool.

I am taking the week after next off so I can do stuff around the house and get some solid rest. My yoga teaching is a bit stale as well and I need to invigorate that.

Oh and have some fun too. Kes is coming up one of those days and is going to go to the art museum with me as well as out to lunch. S. and I will get in a long walk I hope too.

I admit though I am still having weird symptoms. My bones hurt. I don’t think the bones in my pelvis and hips are supposed to hurt. I have the appointment with the women’s health specialist during that week I am off.

It is the uncertainty that is so challenging.

I don’t know what it going on, and I don’t know if it is serious, and I don’t know if it is treatable. I don’t know if how I feel right now is a result of the antibiotics or not.

If I take embracing the unknown as a spiritual practice then it is a little easier. In a way I suppose I am, in fact, working on my yoga teaching, just behind the scenes in the privacy of my own head.

This morning when I took the bird feeders out I saw a little tiny creature that I suspect was a mouse scurrying. Carlo has been very interested in the area by the patio door so I don’t think anybody has a chance if they should venture to come inside. The cats could care less about many things but actual real live mice, oh man.

That is kind of like the cat equivalent of Christmas.

I am enjoying working from home and the dappled light through the trees and the prospect of having yet another English muffin.
